Week in TV 6/26: GoT, Sharks, KillJoys & Dark Matter… Oh My

By: Alyssa and DRWHO42

While the Olympic tryouts & Discovery’s Shark Week absorb the majority of TV programming this week, last week’s Game of Thrones was epic and satisfying on many levels which has us waiting, not so patiently, for the super-sized 69 minute season finale Sunday night. SyFy has a couple of gems returning at the end of the week – Dark Matter & Killjoys.

DRWHO42’s picks:
New: Pre-Olympic programming
On-going: GoT, Outcast, & Preacher
Binge: Orange is the New Black & Voltron

Alyssa’s picks:
New/Returning: Dark Matter & Killjoys
Ongoing: Preacher, GoT, 12 Monkeys, BrainDead, Cleaverman & Turn
Binge: Gotham

Notable shows are highlighted in red.

  • NETFLIX    Marcella: Complete First Season (#101-108) [Series Premiere]

Set in contemporary London and starring Anna Friel, Marcella – from internationally renowned screenwriter and novelist Hans Rosenfeldt (The Bridge) – centers on the psychological struggles of a metropolitan police officer at a crisis point in her personal life, driven by rejection and intuition. Returning to the met’s murder squad after a 12-year career break, Marcella is a detective in her late 30’s who gave up her fast-tracked role to marry and devote her life to starting a family. With the abrupt end to her marriage to the love of her life and isolated from her children at boarding school, marcella returns to work – her sense of self shattered. She is immediately assigned to one of her old cases that she first worked on in 2003. A spate of recent killings has occurred, all carrying the same hallmarks as those unsolved murders committed over a decade ago. Has the killer re-appeared or is this a copycat murderer? How will Marcella cope with returning to duty when her own temperament is so fragile and vulnerable? Will throwing herself into her work provide the answers she’s seeking or lead her dangerously into territory she must avoid at all costs? Marcella also stars downton abbey’s laura carmichael, nicholas pinnock (fortitude, captain america), ian puleston-davies (Coronation Street, Being Human), nina sosanya (w1a, last tango in halifax), ray panthaki (The Wrong Mans, Convenience), Jamie Bamber (Law & Order: UK, Battlestar Galactica), Sinead Cusack (Jekyll & Hyde, Eastern Promises), Patrick Baladi (The Office, Mistresses), and Harry Lloyd (Game of Thrones, The Theory of Everything). Marcella is executive produced by Hans Rosenfeldt, Nicola Larder, and Tony Wood at Buccaneer Media. Directors are Charles Martin (New Worlds, Skins, The Returned), Jonathan Teplitzky (Broadchurch, The Railway Man) and Henrik Georgsson (The Bridge). Andrew Woodhead is the producer (Fortitude, Spooks, Law & Order: UK). Read more @ FutonCritic
